    Charging pad/USB power output

    When playing music/videos (use Youtube to play music) or using TomTom navigation my phone can not be charged fast enough to keep its charge on the pad, so I plug in a charger instead. Disclaimer: My Samsung Note 9 is quite old.

    Power consumption

    A lot, as in always. 😄 And yes it does. Had a little electric van as a courtesy car and in that I had to kill the heater to get home to charge, it was quite a big difference in consumtion to be honest.

    Power consumption

    Seems about right, my Luxury is in the same balpark in winter here at the coast of Norway (Sunnmøre) in those temps. Much better at +7 - 10 C. Oh. I do not do economy driving, just normal driving with the heater on 26-28C and heated seats and steering wheel heat one. What to say, I like...

    Full tail light on SE

    I do hope no one is using the cars cables ditectly to the towhook contact, the system is suposed to be connected via a towhook module whit separate power suply so the car is separated from the trailers electrics. The reason I stil warn about this is a friend of me who had a not so lucky...

    Boot / trunk opens randomly

    Yesterday, when I was going to put groceries in the trunk, the alarm went off. I pressed the trunk switch but didn't hear it unlock and the trunk opened directly without the usual delay when you press the switch and wait for it to open the lock. As far as I know, the car was otherwise locked and...

    Trophy for nearly a month

    Disabling built in SIM

    I do not get that anyone would share their data regardless of the driving, it's a matter of privacy.

    Dashcam install power from interior lights

    Have not taken it off my self, but remembered your question when I saw this on AliExpress. Not quite sure this is what you are looking for, but this looks like it just snaps on an should be fastened like the original plastic trim.

    Target SOC

    My car is a Luxury/Trophy and my answer relating to target SOC does not aply to the SE. The SE is suposed to be charged to 100% and do not have adjustable target SOC (because of the battery type). The answer given in my post is also only for pre R40/46 software update as post R40/46 update the...

    L.E.D bonnet light strip MG4

    You lot tinkering with electrics on the MG4 should be very careful when putting loads on wires you do not have full control over, and really think twice before cutting in to wires to tap power/signal from them. Many of the wires are very thin and have little to no headroom for cutting strands or...

    L.E.D bonnet light strip MG4

    F53 and F72 (Headlights main power suply) is on when lights are off (atleast when hood is open and the car is locked and shut off). F89 I belive was used because it's only on when car is on (did not bother to check since it works for Fredouille).

    Does anyone believe this? (Internal/external temperature readings)

    Maybe, but this has happend when the car has not been used in a couple of days too. On the other hand it's a pretty big battery though.
